De Cecco pasta is made with the highest quality durum wheat which is expertly hand selected and inspected even before milling. During the milling process, the grains of wheat are then ‘stripped‘ of their surface layer in order to obtain their most valuable part ‘straight from the heart.’
At their Mill in Fara San Martino, De Cecco use the pure cold mountain spring water to knead the semolina. This unique method better respects the primary material, preserving the integrity of the precious gluten network.
Shaping the pasta at De Cecco is also done traditionally using the bronze-drawing process as it’s the only way to make the pasta naturally rough, porous and able to absorb every type of sauce.
